Pat Kirwan's First Mock Draft (1 Viewer)

[One]

5.0

- I'm becoming convinced that Jeremy Maclin is going #7 to the Raiders because Al Davis has his own stopwatch time on him and doesn't with Crabtree. Whether Crabtree is the first WR off the board depends more on how much Seattle or Cleveland like him because I don't believe Oakland will take him. See next...

I see your point, but wasn't Maclin's 40 pretty disappointing?

Reportedly he ran a 4.43 at his Pro Day."University of Missouri wide receiver and first-round draft prospect Jeremy Maclin displayed that he’s fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered at the NFL scouting combine, running a 4.43 and a 4.47 in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day.

According to Gil Brandt of NFL.com, Maclin had a 35-inch vertical leap in front of Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers coach Mike Sheppard and New York Jets wide receivers coach Henry Ellard as 22 teams watched the campus workout."

I disagree with Lombardi's 'Al Davis has a 40 on Maclin and doesn't with Crabtree so he'll grab Maclin' idea for a few reasons.1.) Why would you pass on the best receiver in the draft for a 'Speed' guy, when the 'Speed' guy runs a good, not great 40. I can see the Heyward-Bey argument, but not Maclin. Maclin would be the slowest receiver on the team behind Higgins (4.34), Shields (4.37) and Schillens (4.38) (Well, maybe not Walker these days).

2. Maclin could have slightly less value to Oakland since they've already got two very good PR/KRs. (Higgins & newly re-signed Justin Miller.)

I think Crabtree is gone to the Hawks or Browns by the time we pick, but if he drops, Al soils his Depends and picks the overhyped guy, Crabtree.

but hey, it's Oakland. WTH knows.

I can't see the Pats taking a running back in the first round ever again.

I did, you can do a search, have fun spending the next hour looking for it.

The search function is not that hard to use. It will probably take me longer to type this up than to confirm through searches that no such mock was posted.Searches for Shark Pool posts by you, older than 180 days ago, containing pairs of names like "long" and "ryan", or "mcfadden" and "gholston", or "ellis" and "dorsey"... return the same 1-4 threads, none of which have a mock posted by you.Either he's right and the mock doesn't exist, or you left out of your mock most of the first 7 players taken?
